Noisy line, most likely. I don't think it has any
significance.
OK.

The leading single quote outside double quotes is how
HP BASIC (2000
and 3000) represent a non-printable character in a string constant.
So '14 is decimal 14 as a character, or control-N.
Makes sense.

I don't recall the details clearly, I'm
thinking one is a limit in
seconds on the time the user has to reply, and I'm thinking the other
is used to return the time it took the user to enter the reply.
That makes sense too.
Thanks to everyone who has replied. Now all I need is a machine to run
it on (or an emulator). Any suggestions?
